BACKGROUND: Abnormal gastrointestinal permeability has been linked to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The lactulose-to-mannitol ratio is traditionally used to assess small intestine permeability while sucralose and sucrose are used to assess colonic and gastric permeability respectively. We used a single 4-probe test solution to assess permeability throughout the gastrointestinal tract in IBS patients and healthy controls by measuring the recovery of the probes in urine after ingestion using a modified liquid chromatography mass spectrometry protocol. METHODS: Fasting participants (N=59) drank a permeability test solution (100ml: sucralose, sucrose, mannitol, and lactulose). Urine was collected over a 5-h period and kept frozen until analysis. Urinary sugar concentrations were measured using a liquid chromatography/triple quadruple mass spectrometer. RESULTS: Colonic permeability was significantly lower in IBS patients when compared to healthy controls (p=0.011). Gastric and small intestinal permeability did not significantly differ between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrates the clinical potential of this non-invasive method for assessing alterations in gastrointestinal permeability in patients with IBS. Published by Elsevier B.V.
